Black Dough for Nerikiri-Wagashi (with wheat flour)

Ingredients

Wrap red bean jam with paper towels to drain the liquid off if it contains too much water.

Put the bean jam into a bowl. Add plain flour as sifting it.

Mix them roughly.

Wrap it with a bleached cotton cloth.

Put it into a steamer.

Knead the dough to make it smooth with the cloth.

Wrap it with a plastic wrap and cool it down. Leave it in a refrigerator for 30min.
